[Fedora-livecd-list] https vs http

People seem to be trying to replace HTTP with HTTPS these days.
Finally.

I used git to clone the livecd tree, as described on this page:
  <https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/livecd/>

It suggested three sources for cloning.

ssh://git.fedorahosted.org/git/livecd didn't work for me.  Perhaps
some latency propagating my SSH key from admin.fedoraproject.org.

http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/livecd worked.  But so did the
(unlisted) https version.

==> surely the web page should suggest https, not http.

Similarly, <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Livecd-iso-to-disk> had a
couple of links for things to download, both with HTTP, not HTTPS.
In the spirit of the WikiPedia motto "Be bold!", I've changed those.
